Poggio Bracciolini's last work, the Historiae Florentini populi, was edited
and dedicated to Federico di Montefeltro by Jacopo di Poggio in 1472.
Jacopo also translated the work into the volgare and had it printed in Venice
in 1476. In the light of the manuscript tradition, Jacopo's editorial
changes were more considerable than has hitherto been thought. The
propagation of his edition and translation would seem to be intimately connected
with his political aspirations ending in his unfortunate participation
in the Pazzi conspiracy of 1478.
